Sugar: Are You an Addict? - Chef's Blade

Sugar: Are You an Addict? - Chef's Blade
Sugar has been a friend and enemy of mine for many years.  I have tried to cut it out for my families well being and still  am having to find ways to heal the effects of too much.  A little is ok but the truth that you have talked about in your article makes so much sense and I will be looking at it from a different angle now.  Learning how to eat healthy without the use of sweetner's is an ongoing journey and I will be adding to my Kitchen Koaching resources for inexpensive ways to lessen our addiction.

Let's get started Dancing in the Kitchen

Have you given thought to what you would describe yourself in the kitchen?  Are the "Simply put I don't cook" type? Using one pan for a stir fry could be the answer. Or would you say you are "Semi Homemade"? Buy a rotisserie chicken, frozen noodles and you are on your way to down home country cooking.  How about "I was a chef in my former life"? New tricks and tools might be what you are after.  If you are any of these or somewhere in between I bet you are looking for easier ways to cook, budget friendly ingredients and ideas to get in and out of the kitchen fast and still have a sense of purpose and peace while in the kitchen.

I have found that having the right equipment and tools, organizing your space and having a plan will make all of your cooking dreams come true.  Don't be overwhelmed.  Start with a 3 ring binder some dividers, (used ones work just fine), a pen and some paper.  

Start writing down how you see yourself in the kitchen.  In and out? No time?  Love to cook?  Make a list or come by my website and I have one already made out for you.  www.TheKitchenKoach.net. Here a few questions to get you started: 
Are you a healthy eater:____sometimes healthy:_____like to learn how to eat healthy:___ 

What makes you crazy about cooking, planning or preparing food?  

If you could change one thing about food what would it be?

When you get your thoughts down on paper you will find it easier to make a plan and get started. The Kitchen Koach helps you put more pizzazz in your skillet so stop by again for a visit and I will share some great tips with you.
